The TWABM Hall Of Shame

The lovely chap you see above is not Jason Voorhees. He’s Trevor Moorhouse, the unofficial mascot of That Was A Bit Mental.

Trevor is the killer in Scream Bloody Murder, an atrocious camp slasher film released in 2000 and one of the films I used to constantly recommend to people when I was at uni because of its sheer badness.

You know those little masks at the end of each review in place of the usual stars? They aren’t Jason masks, they’re Trevor masks. To me, Trevor sums up everything great about bad horror films.

Besides, sometimes it’s just fun reading reviews of films that are truly shite. With this in mind, I bring you the That Was A Bit Mental Hall Of Shame.

This is a list of all the films reviewed on the site that received scores of one-and-a-half stars, one star or the dreaded lowest score on TWABM, half a star.

They’re truly the worst films I’ve seen in the past couple of years, but I still love them all the same.

If you ever want to see the Hall Of Shame again in the future, just look up. It’s been added to the menu that runs along the top of the page. Meanwhile, if you’d like to see the BEST films on the site, head to the Hall Of Fame.

The Lowdown

By day I review video games for a living, but by night I'm doing this blog as a bit of non-profit fun, just so I can cover my other love: horror films and other generally weird movies.

Each of my reviews come with screenshots and a trailer (or film clip) so you can hopefully judge for yourself if the film's worth tracking down.

I've also made a New Year's resolution to watch all 72 video nasty films banned by the Director of Public Prosecutions in the UK in 1984, so the "Video Nasties" list you see above this will eventually fill up with reviews of each film.

Naturally, many of these films contain scenes of graphic violence and the majority are rated 18 or 15 in the UK (while some even remained banned). If you are offended by such sights or bad language then this might not be the place for you because there may be the odd gory pic.

I hope you enjoy the reviews in this blog: all comments are welcome, as are suggestions of films you'd like to see me review (just comment under any of my reviews and let me know). If you like my stuff, feel free to subscribe using the link at the bottom of this column to get email updates.

Thanks for reading!
